An NHLe/purely production driven model is borderline useless in my estimation, but of course it will have it's "hits" along the way too..
Julien Gauthier was used as a draft year comparison for Stankoven for crying out loud.

This.
You never hear him speak about all the blunders/misses he makes, he wouldn't post that because negative views etc. But because he's a content creator, he sure likes to throw out all the "told ya so" model projections when one of them hits.
It goes to show you just how volatile drafting can be, for every Kucherov/Johnny etc you've got a dozen+ Greg Nemisz/Julien Gauthier/Sasha Pastujov scenarios where they were taken WAY higher than they ever lived up to.
It's why having a great scouting staff is KEY and making sure you hit on your top 3 round picks equates in success.
